Most webmasters and server admins are relatively clueless as to what makes email really run. Recently I was forced to migrate all my websites to new IPs. I knew I was going to take a hit for this but I didn't realize how much. This whole experience have given me a new perspective on how to get into yahoo's inbox with your bulk emails and newsletters.

Today I went through getting one of my new clients setup on the Feedback Loop with the major ISPs. Most of the them came back saying I was approved to their feedback loop system, but one of them said I was not approved because I was found on an blacklist. This is not something you want to see. Allow me to explain.

If you are thinking about getting a dedicated server with Godaddy because of their cheap prices, I understand. But how far will their server really take you? After dealing with performance issues with godaddy with another client, I build my own server and colocated it. Then I did some benchmarks comparing the two. Huge difference. Click read to see the bench marks.

Getting your own server is not easy, nor is it cheap. For anyone thinking about it. Here are some things you will need to make it functional as part of a revenue generator by hosting your client's websites.

I recently had to call in to AT&T to get some information from them. I was trying to get a static IP for my cell phone's data connection. They were not able to do this, but they did give me a list of IP ranges their Wireless DATA uses.

For years I setup my clients with shared hosting account with either HostMySite ( Hosting.com ) or Godaddy. I stayed clear of colocating for several reasons, cost, and what if it breaks. Well I finally got the confidence to colocate my own rack server, and I will say its one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Today was proud day for me. I colocated my first rack server in a datacenter. The guys at the datacenter were very helpful. If anyone is needing to colocate a server in Houston I highly recommend Acronoc.

Being that I am on the verge of colocating my own box. This is one of the many questions I have asked myself. So a little math to determine the theoretical maximums, and some thoughts on how you can built a server that can support them.

One of my neighbors works in management for Comcast here in Houston. After talking with him it would seem that Comcast has big plans for Residential Service in Houston. Like 50Mb/sec type of plans. Or for those of you who prefer to think of data transfer in Bytes. 6.25 MB/sec downloads.

Today as I was working on my blog, I noticed a google ad that was advertising Colocation and Dedicated Servers. I just happen to be in the market for such products, so naturally I clicked the ad to learn more. What I found made ma laugh. Its obvious that the managers of the datacenter, don't have a clue when it comes to IT.
